Description
A Grade II Listed 17th-century three bedroom timber framed thatched cottage set in 0.41 acres with far reaching country views. The period property, now with approximately 1,524 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors, was extended in 2023 to create an over 19 ft. by 12 ft. sitting room with full height bi-folding doors to the rear and side, taking advantage of the rural setting with its far-reaching countryside views. Also on the ground floor are two further reception areas, one leading into the kitchen, and an entrance hall with a cloakroom and the staircase. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The property retains many period features, including exposed beams and brick built fireplaces; the ceiling heights are higher than might be expected in a property of this era.
Outside at the front is an assigned parking area by the lane, suitable for up to four cars. The established rear garden, mainly enclosed by walls, is laid to lawn with mature planting and fruit trees and has a patio and decked seating area.
Ground Floor The quarry tiled entrance hall with a brick fireplace and period cast iron range, has a ground floor cloakroom and doors leading to the snug and dining room. Beyond the snug is the triple aspect sitting room, with far reaching views across the 0.41 acre garden and the local countryside from the four bi-folding doors on two sides. There is an open fireplace in the snug and the dining room has a stone fireplace with a bressummer above. The dining room leads through to the dual aspect kitchen, with Shaker style fitted units, and there are stairs from the entrance hall to the first floor.
Bedrooms and Bathroom The first floor landing, which is on two levels, accesses all the three bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one is dual aspect, overlooking the front and rear, with exposed timbers in the gable end and walls. Bedrooms two and three, separated by the stairwell, overlook the front aspect. The over 13 ft. deep family bathroom has a bath with mixer taps with a hand held shower, a large shower cubicle with rainfall shower, a WC, a hand basin, and a storage cupboard, as well as a cupboard housing the overflow tank.
